The filmakers edited two different casting sequences together to get this scene. In the first part I am casting directly at the camera. In the second part the camera has a wide angle lens on it in order to capture the entire cast.

The entire film was shot on 35 mm film, so we didn't have tons and tons of available video to burn through - film is expensive !

obfg had a couple of valid points, the cast is not a Snake Roll and those are two different casts. The friend who formatted the video for youtube got the cast wrong, it is a left shoulder cast with right hand on top.

The casts are two different casts (though you have to watch this thing really closely to pick it up).

THis snip came from the movie DRIFT which we were a part of a few years ago. Head cinematographer Chris Patterson of Warren Miller Films took about 100 shots of us casting....

Not a Snake Roll!!!

Also, the first half of the vid (front view) and the second half ( back/side view) are two different casts. The loops coming over different shoulders.

You guys should know better.

Still, its a pretty loop in the air.
